Gertrude Street, Fitzroy: A Retail Precinct Built on Authen­tic­i­ty, Longevi­ty and Cul­tur­al Relevance

January 2026

In a retail land­scape that is con­stant­ly evolv­ing — shaped by chang­ing con­sumer behav­iours, eco­nom­ic cycles and shift­ing urban dynam­ics — there are very few streets that con­sis­tent­ly out­per­form expec­ta­tions while remain­ing fierce­ly authen­tic. Gertrude Street in Fitzroy is one of them.

From a retail leas­ing per­spec­tive, Gertrude Street stands apart not because it chas­es trends, but because it sets them. The strength of the precinct lies in its deeply curat­ed ten­an­cy mix, its strong sense of place and the longevi­ty of busi­ness­es that have become insep­a­ra­ble from Melbourne’s cul­tur­al fabric.

THE ENDUR­ING STRENGTH OF SEA­SIDE RETAIL STRIPS IN VIC­TO­RIA: A DIRECTOR’S PERSPECTIVE

January 2026

Vic­to­ri­an sea­side towns have always held a strong emo­tion­al pull for both locals and vis­i­tors. As some­one who works close­ly with busi­ness­es nav­i­gat­ing growth, brand pres­ence, and com­mer­cial strat­e­gy and hav­ing spent time in Sor­ren­to for a num­ber of sum­mers now, I’ve had time to analyse how retail thrives in this coastal loca­tion (cur­rent­ly full retail occu­pa­tion by the way!) Sub­urbs like Sor­ren­to demon­strate a par­tic­u­lar­ly resilient form of retail ecol­o­gy — one that thrives on a bal­anced mix of uses, sea­son­al ver­sa­til­i­ty, and strong anchor tenants.

The Lease Is End­ing — Now What? A Prac­ti­cal Guide to Make-Good Oblig­a­tions in Victoria

December 2025

When a com­mer­cial lease ends, one of the most com­mon — and cost­ly — sources of ten­sion between land­lords and ten­ants is the ​“make-good” clause. At Miglic Dean, we’ve helped count­less clients nav­i­gate this process, and we know that what’s writ­ten in the lease is only half the sto­ry. The oth­er half is about tim­ing, com­mu­ni­ca­tion, and strate­gic foresight.
